Introduction
English | 简体中文
MMDetection is an open source object detection toolbox based on PyTorch. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.
The master branch works with PyTorch 1.5+.
Major features
-
Modular Design
We decompose the detection framework into different components and one can easily construct a customized object detection framework by combining different modules.
-
Support of multiple frameworks out of box
The toolbox directly supports popular and contemporary detection frameworks, e.g. Faster RCNN, Mask RCNN, RetinaNet, etc.
-
High efficiency
All basic bbox and mask operations run on GPUs. The training speed is faster than or comparable to other codebases, including Detectron2, maskrcnn-benchmark and SimpleDet.
-
State of the art
The toolbox stems from the codebase developed by the MMDet team, who won COCO Detection Challenge in 2018, and we keep pushing it forward.
Apart from MMDetection, we also released a library mmcv for computer vision research, which is heavily depended on by this toolbox.
License
This project is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
Changelog
2.24.1 was released in 30/4/2022:
- Support Simple Copy Paste
- Support automatically scaling LR according to GPU number and samples per GPU
- Support Class Aware Sampler that improves performance on OpenImages Dataset
Please refer to changelog.md for details and release history.

Installation
Please refer to get_started.md for installation.
Getting Started
Please see get_started.md for the basic usage of MMDetection. We provide detection colab tutorial and instance segmentation colab tutorial, and full guidance for quick run with existing dataset and with new dataset for beginners. There are also tutorials for finetuning models, adding new dataset, designing data pipeline, customizing models, customizing runtime settings and useful tools.
Please refer to FAQ for frequently asked questions.
Contributing
We appreciate all contributions to improve MMDetection. Ongoing projects can be found in out GitHub Projects. Welcome community users to participate in these projects. Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for the contributing guideline.
Acknowledgement
MMDetection is an open source project that is contributed by researchers and engineers from various colleges and companies. We appreciate all the contributors who implement their methods or add new features, as well as users who give valuable feedbacks. We wish that the toolbox and benchmark could serve the growing research community by providing a flexible toolkit to reimplement existing methods and develop their own new detectors.
